360 flips... Seem to have this weird mental block that always stops me from flicking with my front foot, always end up doing terrible 3shuvs when I try.
You don’t flick a tre flip. It’s a pressure trick. You scoop while the board has tension built up lean back and scoop. Scissor kick and it will hit your foot.
Every tre flip issue is about scoop or the building up of pressure to get it to flip.
When I 3 shuv I have my toes on the tail more and my front foot flat so it doesn’t flip. Maybe you need to hang your toes off the tail more
This is absolutely the worst advice ever. All flip tricks should be properly flicked (out and up regardless of trick). If it’s not flicked it’s a pressure flip = shit. Look at any good tre flippers (Nate Jones, Kalis , Jason Lee...) they all flick. The flick on tre isn’t as pronounced as kickflips but you definitely should flick your tres.
Fixed typos.
Nah man pressure flip is off the other wheel weight is forward. That’s why it flips heel flip because the tension is on the toe side wheel and it’s forced under with a scrape. Like an impossible.
Tre flip is similar but it pops off the other wheel because you leaned back and popped it.
It’s not flicked with the side of your front foot like a KICKFLIP or an ollie that throws the tre away from you or gives it an ugly uneven rotation/flip and you will look like I did in 1990.
The right way of doing it is the flip friction is kinda caused by your back heel side wheel that bit the ground as you scooped it. Your front foot is mostly a trap to stop it from over rotation. That’s why we scissor kick. To trap it
You know you’re doing it right when the board will smacks into your front foot.
I should draw a picture or something it’s really hard to explain without a visual
All this can be applied to laser as well you just do the same thing backwards an with your big toe in the other pocket and your front foot’s toes curled off the board.
English is my second language if this is straight unreadable
